Arius, a priest of Egyptian Alexandria, began to preach that the Second Person of the Trinity, known as Jesus Christ, was not truly equal to the Father, nor therefore could he be "true God of true God." He was, according to Arius, nothing more than a creature immensely more perfect than any other creature, but a creature, nonetheless. This teaching was rejected at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.
